LGBT

There’s been an interesting evolution in the DL comment section. I wanted to give my take on it. Whenever the subjects of race, women’s issues, religion (mostly concerning Muslims), LGBT, etc. come up and white privilege is pointed out we hear white people quickly saying “not all white people” and then sharing their reasons as to why they are the exceptions to whatever is being discussed. This derails the conversation, moving it away from whatever social issue is being discussed and putting the focus on white people's concerns. I have lost count on the number of posts on DL where this has happened, and I'd like to figure out how we can stop doing this.
